Since....
Its busy season in the office so my own play time during the weekdays has will increase because Godpeon is staying late at work. I'll make obligations for any night and weekend raids. When I am on during the weeknights, I'll be looking to run anything including the following instances:

1. Sethek Halls
2. Shadow Labs
3. Botanica

I need to be generous with all the time I'm going to have until the end of tax season (April 30 in Canada) and not concentrate on things I need to get done in the game. I can be totally unselfish with my time but I realize we need more priests and healers keyed for Karazhan so I will look for priests\healers that need it and help them.

Godspeon was talking with a level 70 NE priest, in game name is Aricia (sp?). She had her account hacked and it appears that it will be a few weeks before she gets her gear back. Anything the guild can do to help her out, whether gear up, grouping, enchants in the future, I know she'll be very appreciative of it.
 
You should move to America, where we do our taxes early, and our Mounties drive Crown Vic's.
 
I really didn't understand taxes and why people hated them SOOOO much until I got a job and i saw the hard earned cash I was making being taken by the government for things I do not use/need. Some I do need/use but I'm not going to prison/ going to need welfare etc.
 
In a near perfect world with a near perfect system (that is Gods ultimate plan -1) your federal taxe go to pay for items of national and international interest. Just because you don't see a need for them or use those services doesn't mean those services are vital at a national level. Such as, national security, international interests. Life in the US would be much different if the army, navy, air force, coast gaurd, national gaurd didn't exist. Just because you don't see the munitions or tanks rolling down your streets doesn't mean you are not getting a benefit from them.

Taxes, when properly spent and on the proper items are taxes best paid. Sadly, the real issue with taxes is that people don't inheritly trust that the governments (regardless of level) are capable of making the right spending decisions with your tax dollars. But, if you think about it logically and fairly, you will come to realize that in the US, there are 330 million people each with their own idea of how their tax money should be spent. And this means that not every dollar for every person will be properly spent.

Can you do something about this? Yes. At election times, which occours a minimum of every two years in the US, do your homework and vote for the people who you believe will spend your dollars wisely. You may not agree with everything any politician will say. So its best to pick two or three topics of interest to you and find somebody to support who has similiar ideas as you do on those topics.

Just offering a differnt PoV, take it, leave it, thats your call.

Seriously. The standards of this message board are really slipping...

Actually, there're are any number of things that the government spends money on that I fully support, and don't mind paying for, but when I see the bloated budgets that are all that Congress passes anymore, with literelly trillions of dollars in pork and other waste, I don't think I'm entirely unjustified in being rather upset that my taxes are as high as they are. Take what you need, not what you want...

wtb consumption tax...pst!

To an extent, "taking", is acceptable...but I'd find it far more bearable if government had to support itself. For example...why is a driver's license only $6? I mean come on...the privilege to operate a potentially lethal device is the cost of a double quarter pounder w/ cheese (large) meal...not that I know the exact price of 6.87 or anything. That aside, I'd rather see the government revert back to how it used to be prior to the early 1900s (at which point they had to amend the constitution to allow the style of taxation we have) - self supporting. Charge more for things such as licenses, toll roads, what have you...in short, run it like a business and reduce the overall burden on what people *save*.
